6-month report

20.08.2007

Gleisdorf, August 20, 2007. In the first half of 2007, Binder+Co
recorded a marked improvement compared to the previous year. Both
sales and the result have been increased, thanks to the favourable
economic environment and the billing of some plant projects.

Result nearly trebled In total, the company achieved sales of EUR
24.1 million, exceeding the previous year by EUR 7.6 million, or 46%.
On the basis of the positive sales development as well as additional
inhouse process optimisation, Binder+Co was able to roughly treble
its EBIT to EUR 1.45 million as opposed to the comparable period of
the previous year.

Segment development The Processing Technology Segment provided the
bulk of sales with EUR 13.0 million (approx. +70% compared to
H1/2006). Sales in the Environmental Technology Segment remained at
nearly the same level at EUR 4.5 million and the Packaging Technology
Segment, with sales of EUR 6.6 million, recorded an increase of 50%.
"The Processing Technology Segment remains our strongest segment,
continuing to profit from the ongoing strength of the iron and steel
industry as well as the increased demand from the minerals sector,"
explains Member of the Board Karl Grabner.

Order intake shows good development Order intake also maintained its
positive trend. In particular, the key markets in western and eastern
Europe presented themselves with noticeable dynamism. In total, at
EUR 24.7 million, the order intake in the first half of 2007 was EUR
2.7 million or 12% above that of the previous year.

Solid market trend Binder+Co shares developed solidly in the first
half of 2007: on the basis of a price of EUR 10.30 at the beginning
of the year, the share price reached EUR 11.65 (+13%) on June 29.
Binder+Co also became more interesting for investors in the first
half-year: the share, originally listed in the unregulated third
market (other listings.at), was accepted into the new mid-market
segment on June 18, 2007 and shortly afterwards (July 16, 2007)
admitted to regulated free trading. "This means a further increase in
our attractiveness for institutional investors," says Karl Grabner.

Outlook The second half of 2007 will be characterised by a switch to
serial production of new products, which have already been launched
on the market. Parallel to this, the company will further intensify
its market activities in the CEE region. To meet the personnel
resources required for this purpose, the workforce in Gleisdorf will
be enlarged. For the 2007 financial year, the Binder+Co management
anticipates that sales and EBIT will be well above the 2006 level and
that quality of results - represented by an ROS(EBIT) of 9.1% - will
be maintained.

About Binder+Co Binder+Co AG specialises in Processing-,
Environmental- and Packaging Technology and is the world market
leader in the field of screening technology (for difficult-to-screen
materials) and glass recycling. The company has been listed on the
Vienna Stock Exchange since the end of 2006, and in the meantime has
been listed in regulated free trading in the newly created mid-market
segment. In 2006, with an average of 208 employees, Binder+Co
achieved sales of EUR 42.7 million and hence EBIT of EUR 4.0 million.
Accordingly, ROS(EBIT) amounted to 9.1%.
